The frequency with which we use our hands and wrists makes them prone to injuries, dislocations, and fractures. Since the hand consists of dozens of bones and joints as well as ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and cartilage that work together to perform everyday tasks, repetitive motions can lead to a wide range of conditions including tendonitis, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Because some hand and wrist injuries and conditions can be the result of overuse, rest and avoidance of repetitive motions may be successful in treating discomfort.
